Air Fryer Chile Verde Burritos
Air fryer chile verde burritos emerged from creative thinking about repurposing leftover pulled pork, remembering a beloved dish from growing up that inspired this innovative preparation. This resourceful approach demonstrates how leftovers can become completely new meals while the air fryer ensures crispy results without additional oil. The childhood memory connection makes these burritos special while the creative repurposing proves that leftovers can be transformed into exciting new dishes.
While thinking of a way to use up leftover pulled pork, I remembered a dish I often had growing up in Colorado. While not quite the same, it inspired this recipe which was different and a great way to use it up. Serve with additional salsa verde for dipping if desired.
